Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice is the second option because on the lake should be replaced with into the lake to convey the intended meaning that he entered the lake by jumping in. Into indicates movement or a change of position from the outside to the inside. Hence, the second option is accurate.
The prepositional phrase on the lake means on the surface of the lake. The other options, in the lake and onto the lake are incorrect.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "He jumped into the lake".
